Management Tools Quiz
A quiz to jog your memory
The operations team in your company are looking for a method to automatically respond to failed system status check alarms that are being received from an EC2 instance. The system in question is experiencing intermittent problems with its operating system software.
Which two steps will help you to automate the resolution of the operating system software issues? (choose 2)
Create a CloudWatch alarm that monitors the StatusCheckFailed_System metric
System status checks detect (StatusCheckFailed_System) problems with your instance that require AWS involvement to repair
Create a CloudWatch alarm that monitors the StatusCheckFailed_Instance metric
EC2 status checks are performed every minute and each returns a pass or a fail status. If all checks pass, the overall status of the instance is OK. If one or more checks fail, the overall status is impaired.
Instance status checks (StatusCheckFailed_Instance) detect problems that require your involvement to repair.
Configure an EC2 action that recovers the instance
The action to recover the instance is only supported on specific instance types and can be used only with StatusCheckFailed_System.
Configure an EC2 action that terminates the instance
Configuring an action to terminate the instance would not help resolve system software issues as the instance would be terminated.
Configure an EC2 action that reboots the instance
